Whether the act of onanism is a [[sin]] is subject to dispute, as onanism is a commonly used [[birth control]] method also called ''coitus-interruptus'' or withdrawal. The [[Roman Catholic Church]] and other popular sources interpret this passage as a condemnation of [[sexual intercourse]] which does not permit [[human reproduction|reproduction]]. Thus, the [[Roman Catholic Church]] considers onanism (including masturbation) to be sinful, because it says, " 'The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.' For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved.".<ref>http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P85.HTM</ref> The traditional [[Jewish]] view of the Biblical passage suggests that Onan's sin may have been in disobeying an order from God, or even the lack of putting the family needs before his own.
